The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Fish and Game committee. The committee held public hearings on January 16, 2001 and March 27, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 18, 2001. On April 18, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 19, end of day” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to Apr 26” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 25, end of day” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 26 without objection”. On April 26, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to May 3” on a voice vote. On May 3, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1246). On May 24, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 31, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 29, 2001, making it Chapter 131 of the session laws. It took effect on June 29, 2001.
